Is there any talk among antebellum pastors or theologians about such a crime? Any talk of disciplining such offenders? Any idea how common this really was? (Any is clearly horrific but I don't know if 1%, 10%, or 40% of slave owners had slave mistresses.)]]>44Re: Did Rushdoony have a 'Nestorian Nod'?Mon, 18 Mar 2019 10:50:22 +0000https://www.puritanboard.com/threads/re-did-rushdoony-have-a-nestorian-nod.97619/

Can someone post some references or qoutes from the Church Fathers where they criticize the Bishop of Rome?

I know of some Church Fathers that spoke very highly of the Church of Rome (for example Irenaeus). Of course, this does not prove the case of Romanists.

References to Patrologia Latina would be fine too.

What are some observations you may have anecdotally concerning the reemergence of Particular Redemption and Reformed leaning doctrines amongst Baptists in general and the SBC in particular. No pun intended.

This should give me some good food for thought.
